Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 174 Proud and Fragile

   "No, we must not let the guards take Ye Mingzhu away."

  Yi Xiaochuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his lowered fists were clenched tighter and tighter, as if he was making some kind of difficult choice. Yu Shu had a panoramic view of this scene.

   A touch of emotion appeared in my heart, but I was even more helpless.

  Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan turned around and was about to chase outside the door, Yushu took a step forward and stopped Yi Xiaochuan with his long sleeves. "Ye Mingzhu, we can think of other ways, this is the palace, the guards are so strict, you must not do anything stupid!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Yu Shu in surprise. Speaking of which, they had only known each other for five days, and what they said were all about "transactions" and "cooperation". Because this matter stopped in front of him.

   "Don't get me wrong, I just feel like I met you once, and I don't want to see you die in vain."

  Yu Shu was a little embarrassed by Yi Xiaochuan's look, but he still didn't let go of his raised arm, and he didn't even look away when he was talking. He just stared at Yi Xiaochuan and said seriously.

  Yi Xiaochuan slowly looked away, and said softly: "Thank you for reminding me, princess, I will wait for the opportunity before making a move, and I will not rush forward to die."

   After saying that, he walked around Yu Shu, Yu Shu turned around and looked at Yi Xiaochuan's leaving back, sighed lightly, and shook his head.

  Yu Shu's words are true, the palace is heavily guarded, once Yi Xiaochuan fights in the palace, it will be hard for him to fly.

  Yi Xiaochuan, who has been in the palace for nearly two years, is also well aware of this.

   "It's not easy to do anything in the palace, so let's wait until they leave the palace!"

After leaving the side hall where Yushu was, Yi Xiaochuan chased after the imperial army all the way, not in a hurry, but hanging behind them far away, after seeing them leave the palace from the east gate, he just returned to the household registration hall, changed back into **** clothes, Get out of the palace.

  Wherever the imperial army travels, it will attract the attention of the people. Yi Xiaochuan easily found out the movement of the imperial army when he left the palace. When he learned that they were going to the east of the city, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  Xianyang layout.

  The east of the city is mostly merchants from aristocratic families, and the west of the city is mostly dignitaries.

  Compared with those powerful court officials, the current empty shell family that was forcibly taken to Xianyang by His Majesty is easier to deal with.

   Of course, this is also relative.

   No matter whether it is the powerful or the aristocratic family, Yi Xiaochuan is not able to deal with it at this time.

  The chance of single-handedly capturing the Ye Mingzhu from a team of imperial guards is slim, and only the family that received the reward can have a chance.

  Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and followed the forbidden army from the palace to the city east market. More and more people were watching on the road, and Yi Xiaochuan also began to feel more and more puzzled as he walked.

   "Isn't this the direction to the restaurant? Why did the forbidden army go in this direction? Could it be that the person His Majesty rewarded is eating in the restaurant?"

   In this way, it is good news for Duozhu.

  Seeing the imperial guards stopped at the intersection, and one of them walked into the restaurant holding a wooden box, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes flashed, he went into the side alley and turned around to the backyard of the restaurant, and entered the backyard from a slightly hidden side door.

  As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a waiter carrying dishes coming from the restaurant with a rag on his shoulders.

   "Hey~ Where is the forbidden soldier who just walked in?"

On the opening day, Gao Yao introduced Yi Xiaochuan to the staff of the restaurant, and the staff all knew that he was a friend from the same hometown of the two big bosses. Although they were shocked when they saw the other party popping out from the small door, they didn’t mind. Surprised, he tilted his head and thought for a while: "The official went to the box on the second floor shortly after entering the door. The little one saw him coming down the stairs when he came from the lobby. He should have left by now, right?"

   "Which box?" Yi Xiaochuan asked, frowning slightly.

  The clerk scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It seems to be in the Meizi room, and it seems to be the Lanzi room. The little one has been passing the dishes in the lobby, so I didn't notice much."

When the restaurant was newly built, Zhou Ji wanted to use "Tiandi Xuanhuang" as the name of the wing room, but was rejected by Lu Zhi, saying that the restaurant had committed disrespect by using the name "No. 1 in the world". , for fear of being misunderstood as the homonym of "Tianzi", which is a taboo.

  Zhou Ji scoffed at this, but both Susu and Lu Zhi were deeply influenced by the background of this era, and Gao Yao, who had always been timid, also raised his hand to oppose it.

  With three votes to one, he had no choice but to dismiss this idea and changed it to 'plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum'.

   Among them, the three wing rooms of Mei Lan Zhu are the most frequented places of the three of them, and Yi Xiaochuan is very familiar with them.

Entering the lobby, the imperial guard at the door really disappeared, Yi Xiaochuan felt relieved, he glanced around, but did not see Gao Yao's figure, Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly, did not find anyone to inform Gao Yao, and went directly upstairs .

  In the wing room, Gao Yao slowly opened the wooden box, light blue light came out from the gap, refracting the sunlight outside the window, shaking Gao Yao's wrinkled smiling face like a wraith.

   "Great, great! Ye Mingzhu got it, Xiaoyue is saved!" Gao Yao excitedly held the ball in his palm, and stretched it out in front of Zhou Ji to show off.

  Zhou Ji supported his forehead and said: "The girl is not dead yet, what is there to save?"

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, you can't say such unlucky words." Gao Yao looked obsessively at the green light shining from the surface of the Ye Mingzhu, and murmured: "This is not a fluorescent ball from a small street stall, this is a real one. Ye Mingzhu, just looking at the light on its surface, you can tell that it is definitely not a mortal thing, and it will definitely heal the scar on Xiaoyue's face."

"It's definitely not a mortal thing." Zhou Ji looked at Gao Yao helplessly. Having been to the world of Qing Yu Nian, he noticed the high radiation from the Ye Mingzhu through the box. Throwing this thing in "Qing Yu Nian" can become a warrior scrambling to **** it. The 'inferior spirit stone' is in this world. At most, it can be regarded as a tasteless thing that can be seen from a distance but not played with.

  As for why Cui Wenzi used it as a 'medicine guide', Zhou Ji already had speculations in his mind.

  This person has an inexplicable connection with Tang Wushan and Beiyanshan people, and what he really wants is definitely not the Ye Mingzhu.

   Instead, I want to use this to complete the closed time loop of this world.

  Ye Mingzhu is in the imperial palace, it is just a dream come true for Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao to beg for Ye Mingzhu from the emperor with such powerless identities.

  Especially for Yi Xiaochuan who is in the palace, the only way to get the night pearl is to 'steal treasure'.

  According to the plot that Zhou Ji remembered, the Ye Mingzhu was stolen, and Ying Zheng was furious, and then pulled down the palace chief, giving Gao Yao the opportunity to further become "Zhao Gao".

  Now the people in the palace have become Yi Xiaochuan, who wants to continue 'history' according to the original track, and can only use historical inertia to keep the world from shifting too much.

  If it was before, Zhou Ji didn't dare to 'destroy' Cui Wenzi's plan in this way, but that day Cui Wenzi hid him more urgently than he hid Cui Wenzi, which gave Zhou Ji the confidence to directly intervene in this matter.

"No, Ye Mingzhu already has it, and all kinds of medicinal materials have already been assembled. I have to go to Doctor Cui and let him make the medicine." Gao Yao didn't have as much thought as Zhou Ji, he was a single-core single-threaded The brain, in the modern society, only had Gao Lan in his heart. When he came to Qin Dynasty, he only had this Xiaoyue who was exactly like Gao Lan in his heart.

  Gao Yao carefully put the Ye Mingzhu back into the wooden box, picked up the box and walked outside, Zhou Ji didn't stop him, let him push the door to go out, and walked downstairs full of thoughts.

   As a result, just after turning the corner, he bumped into Yi Xiaochuan who was also preoccupied.

   After all, Yi Xiaochuan has a bit of skill, he quickly stabilized his center of gravity and stood still, while Gao Yao sat down on the steps, and almost dropped the wooden box in his arms.

"Old Gao?" Yi Xiaochuan was still thinking about how to get around Gao Yao, and stole the Ye Mingzhu from the man who was rewarded by His Majesty. Now that he was bumped into by the Lord, he couldn't help being flustered, and he didn't notice Gao Yao for a while. I want the wooden box in my hand.

   "Xiao Chuan, why are you here?"

  He was knocked down by someone when he was going downstairs. Before Gao Yao fell to the ground, his first reaction was to hug the wooden box tightly. He looked up at the person who came after making sure that the wooden box was safe, and said pleasantly, "I'm planning to ask someone to inform you~"

  Gao Yao leaned on the fence and stood up, ignoring the dust on his body, and handed the wooden box to Yi Xiaochuan in a treasure-presenting manner, "Guess what it is?"

  Yi Xiaochuan just noticed the wooden box in Gao Yao's hand, his eyes swayed with the shaking of the wooden box, saw the pattern and texture on it, his complexion changed in vain, grabbed Gao Yao's wrist, and said incredulously: "Ye Mingzhu!"

   Gao Yao also looked surprised, blinked, and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

  'So you are the one who was rewarded by His Majesty'

  Yi Xiaochuan's mood became more and more complicated, an indescribable unwillingness and frustration filled his heart, he opened his mouth, forced a smile and said: "I inquired in the palace that Ye Mingzhu was taken away by the imperial army, and I followed here after inquiring all the way."

  Looking at the thin sweat on Yi Xiaochuan's forehead, and hearing that Yi Xiaochuan chased him all the way from the palace to the restaurant, Gao Yao touched Yi Xiaochuan's shoulder and said sincerely: "Xiaochuan, thank you for your hard work."

In an instant, all the unwillingness and frustration turned into nameless anger and exploded in Yi Xiaochuan's heart, especially when he saw Gao Yao was at the top of the stairs. .

  It's like a very open and popular person who is 'goofy' in school, and finds the most stupid and most despised poor student in the class as a follower.

  Having not seen each other for two years after graduation, the poor student who was looked down upon by others suddenly became the big boss who just got off the plane with a monthly income of one million, while the "big brother" who was widely watched at school became the security guard who watched the gate for the poor students.

   Even the poor student patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."

  Even if the other party has no malicious intentions, this reversal of status, coupled with physical disabilities, makes an extremely proud person even more vulnerable.

   "Why do you do it?"

  The sound squeezed out from between the teeth carried a certain sense of danger.

  The smile on Gao Yao's face froze for a moment, and he tentatively asked with some puzzlement: "Why?"

  Yi Xiaochuan lowered his head, his drooping bangs covered his gloomy eyes: "Ye Mingzhu's business was agreed to be done by me, why did you intervene in advance?"

"I'm just... This is actually a misunderstanding." Gao Yao stuttered as soon as he spoke in a hurry, and he heard that Yi Xiaochuan's tone was wrong, and quickly explained: "Li Xiang accompanied His Majesty on a private visit, and happened to come to our restaurant for dinner. First hand, and promised to help the palace train a batch of royal chefs."

Gao Yao was aggrieved and told Yi Xiaochuan the whole story, and said weakly: "Your Majesty asked me what reward I wanted before leaving. I thought of such a good opportunity. If I can directly ask for Ye Mingzhu, I don't have to You took the risk of stealing treasures in the palace. So I asked His Majesty to ask for the night pearl of the Tu'an tribe as a reward."

"I'll give it to you if you want it?" Yi Xiaochuan sneered, "That's the treasure handed down from Tu'an Jin to His Majesty, Princess Tu'an's dowry! With your little cooking skills, he can make the concubine of the harem Dowry for you?"

"Hey! Xiao Chuan, what do you mean by that?" Gao Yao was also a little unhappy when he heard the words, "What do you mean by my skill? Although I am just a big pot cook in modern times, in the Qin Dynasty, I would be number one in the world. One of the best cooks, you can't look down on my cooking skills."

"Besides, if you haven't been able to steal Ye Mingzhu, would I need to show off my cooking skills?" Gao Yao thought of the conversation that day, tightened his legs, and couldn't help shivering, "Do you know what I did?" How much risk is a table of food?"

  Because he was worried about irritating Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao paused, but still didn't say anything about Ying Zheng's plan to arrest him and take him to the imperial dining room.

   After all, Yi Xiaochuan was cut off because he was tricked into going to the imperial dining room

   "Gao Yao! Are you blaming me?" Yi Xiaochuan said coldly, "I have already discussed it with Princess Yushu in the palace. She will have a way to ask His Majesty for the Ye Mingzhu when she returns to the palace in the next two days."

"Isn't that still asking for a reward?" Gao Yao, who has not been blackened, is more docile after all, looking at Yi Xiaochuan who has got into the horns, he said helplessly, "You ask Princess Yushu to ask for it, and I ask His Majesty for it." What if it's not the same? Besides, His Majesty has already sent the imperial army to send Ye Mingzhu to me. Why are you still angry?"

no the same!

  I tried my best to prove that I am not a useless person, but a person like you can easily do things that I can't do.

   This just frustrates and humiliates me!

Yi Xiaochuan opened his mouth, in front of Gao Yao, he didn't want to expose his fragile pride, he couldn't help but waved his hands dejectedly, shook his head and said: "Forget it, Ye Mingzhu has already been obtained, it's useless to say anything, let's look for it first Doctor Cui will prescribe the medicine."

   Seeing Yi Xiaochuan voluntarily back down for the first time, Gao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. He had never had a direct conflict with Yi Xiaochuan before.

  Hmm. Because of Gao Lan, he approached Yi Xiaochuan a few times, but every time he was unilaterally teased by Yi Xiaochuan, it was not a conflict at all.

  Looking down at Yi Xiaochuan at the bottom of the steps, Gao Yao suddenly felt that the Xiaochuan in front of him had changed.

   It's not the same as before.

  The previous frivolity, sunshine, and heartlessness are missing.

  It is more gloomy, sensitive, and fragile.

  Gao Yao took a deep look at Yi Xiaochuan, and led the way ahead: "Master Cui hangs out in various wine shops in Xianyang City every day, and we can just look for them along the neighborhood."
